Note and Comment

In a violent protest to the Spanish government against the visit which M. Loubet, the French president, has been paying the Spanish king, Don Carlos of Bourbon, the Spanish pretender claims that “the presence of the French president in Spanish territory is an offense to the Catholic feelings of the Spanish people, who repudiate the republican form of government, which has been adopted in France, and look with abhorrence upon the separation between church and state, which the French officials, with Loubet’s personal complicity, are now trying to foist upon the French people.” Republicanism and Protestantism with its separation of church and state are entirely at variance with the principles upon which the papacy is established. When the two-horned beast of Revelation 13 speaks as a dragon, we shall hear the same things asserted in America that are now openly stated in Roman Catholic countries.
